My wife just rushed to hospital, resting heart rate at 130, red skin, out of breath, misremembering things and stumbling. We’re both unvaxxed and under 35. I’m home watching our son, trying not to freak the fuck out! Any prayers or words of comfort are appreciated; this woman is my entire world, I’m scared shitless and don’t know what to do and have no where else to turn….I just want help. We’ve tried so hard to push through all the bullshit but now this happens—I’m so close to breaking frens, help me please.
Update: still in hospital. CTs, MRI, EKG, US all negative for any clots or embolisms. Doctors still aren’t sure what’s causing it- best working guess so far is POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) which is an excessively reduced amount of blood returning to the heart when moving from laying to sitting to standing. BP and heart rate still spiking anytime she has to get up. Pumping fluids and electrolytes and looking into starting a beta blocker until her OBGYN can assess hormone levels. Heart monitor hooked up for next cpl weeks. Home/bed rest until then. Not a whole lot of info or treatment for it so we just have to wait and see for now.
Read and claim Psalm 91 over and over and over! I can't begin to convey how much this psalm has encouraged, strengthened, comforted me, guided me, given me words to pray back to God, etc. God cannot break His own promises. He has plans to prosper us in all ways, not to harm us. God is absolutely good! So we can completely trust Him. He has not given us a spirit of fear but a Spirit of love, power and a sound mind. We all need a sound mind in these days no matter our circumstances. So trust God's promises and rest in His love and provision for your family - one step at a time! Praying healing for your wife and comfort for you!!
I will definitely do that fren. I truly hope you are right and am trying to keep what little faith I’ve struggled with. I WANT to believe again and FEEL Him, I know I just have so much work to do. But I’ve sworn that if she’s ok I will open up my heart to TRYING again, and maybe that’s all I need, to just try, and have faith- unfortunately easier said than done for me. Thank you for your time, kindness, and encouragement sister.
